According to SMM statistics, the supply of silicon wafers in May was 48.2 GW, a slight increase of 3.66% compared with that in April. Although the supply of silicon wafers continued to grow, the growth was far below market expectations. Inventories continued to grow and price of silicon wafers fell sharply in late May, significantly reducing profits.
Many manufacturers temporarily lowered their production schedules for silicon wafers. The growth of silicon wafer production in June is expected to further shrink, and the planned production will be only 49.3 GW, compared with the previous market estimate of 50 GW.
